Shuttles

Shuttle service in Costa Rica connects main destinations and most popular hotels around the country with shared transportation in an air-conditioned minibus or small passenger van. For one, two, and sometimes three travelers, shuttle service is the most economical and convenient way to travel without having to drive yourself. If you have a larger group, private transfers may offer a better price per person and give you more flexibility.Shuttle routes operate daily and usually depart twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. They are subject to availability and must be reserved in advance.

Costa Rica Shuttle Service

Door-to-door, hotel-to-hotel service, covering most popular hotels around the country.

Most of the 150 shuttle routes run twice a day (AM & PM) and interconnect the most important tourist areas of Costa Rica. In addition to the main office located in San Jose, there are branch offices and operating stations in the following cities: La Fortuna, Monteverde, Puerto Viejo de Limón, Manuel Antonio, Samara and Tamarindo.

During the journey, a rest stop is made in facilities that offer food, beverages, and restrooms. Purchases are the responsibility of each passenger.

Some routes are operated with connections, which are usually made at the rest stops. The drivers will take care of transferring the luggage from one van to the other, if necessary. All baggage is tagged at the time of boarding your first shuttle van.

Shuttle reservations are required in advance with the number of passengers, their names, the date of service, and the locations where to be picked up and dropped off.

Shuttle service is not public transportation; and drivers do not stop along any routes other than at set rest stops, and do not take cash or payment at the time of boarding.
